Shot a nice 4x4 Mulie

[Rob]

Went out with my buddy yesterday up by Prospect Creek. Hiked into a small block and came across some tracks, I followed them to just about the timber when I heard a deer bolt. At the same time I heard him I thought I could smell a musky smell. I backed out and hiked around the outer edge of the block, it took about 30 mins and with the snow being alittle crunchy I thought for sure I had spooked the deer, I entered the timber a slowed down to a crawl. After about 30 yds I stopped and just had a good look, after a minute I could make out the ass of a doe and then saw my buck. After 2 shots he was down and I was shaking pretty good:). Took nearly 3 hours to get him out of the woods and back to the truck. Its my best deer yet for sure. Heres the clincher, I have the pics on my phone(clear pics) but cant send them to my email. Can I text them to someone to post?? Iwont post his width yet.

Thanks Rob.

[Rob]

Kinda up by Stoyoma, but Hooshim side. Up high at the back end

[TylerMc44]

awesome buddy cant wait to see the pics, that area has major potential for monsters. i ve hunted that are a few times and always had the feeling it was home to some major wall hangers.

[Rob]

Yeah I heard there were some big bucks up there. Hiked around for a couple hours before that and saw nothing.

[The Dude]

You can send them to me, PM me if it's not already done.

[1980skywalker]

Wicked buck huge congrats, do you have any side pics of him, what was the width and rough score, a true beauty, I sure hope you are mounting him?

[kennyj]

Thats a whopper! Beauty typical.Congratulations.
Any more pics.
kenny

[CRjosh]

Great buck, thanks for sharing!

[Rob]

we measured 27 3/4 for width. No side shots as hes hanging in my buddys shed, we are cutting him up tomorrow. And no idea what a rough score would be at all.

[The Dude]

Very nice buck Rob. Nice and dark and wide. Check out his teeth when you get back to him, I'd be interested on his age.

[dana]

Nice lookin' buck! Congrats! Looks to have some good mains. Mid to high 160's would be my guesstimation from that pic.

[bowhunterbruce]

damn i must be getting old or something, i missed it by 1/4 inch. bust have been the slight angle of your pic. ha ha ha:-D

[Rob]

[QUOTE=bowhunterbruce;1228303]damn i must be getting old or something, i missed it by 1/4 inch. bust have been the slight angle of your pic. ha ha ha:-D[/QUOTE

LOL Great guess.We'll age him tomorrow. Thinking 5 yrs??

[Whonnock Boy]

Nice quality buck right there Rob. Good for you!

[Sofa King]

nice buck, rob.
looks like i picked the wrong area today.
the coq was foggy and warm.

[Benthos]

Sweet buck :)

[Hombre]

Congrats on a beauty buck!

[Brian011]

Awesome buck! Congrats!

[Jelvis]

After deductions, I guess 166 typ, net, gross 170 - 166 = 4 inches off --= 166 typ net mule buck
Reason for lowered score:
1. Short tine length
2. Back tines are weak ( fail to match the overall tine length of the other tines )
3. Rack looks 25 inches wide
4. medium mass
5. some other minor defish e inn sees
6. I'm a bit jeleous lol
Nice buck really, wow way to go and good shhootin

LOL A guy(older) I know figures you cut the tooth and count the rings?? I know it sounds weird and Im not saying it works

[hotload]

bhb

You were out a quarter of an inch, smarten up

[pnbrock]

they usually freeze tooth and use a slicer to shave thin pieces ,but your way should work.let us know how that worked out!

[deer nut]

You can also age them with some accuracy via tooth wear patterns. Nice buck in any case!!

[Rob]

He puts it in a vice and slowly cuts it with a hacksaw blade

[spear]

TANK!!!! Nice work

[Rattler]

Great work on a shooter buck. My estimate is ~168.

[Rob]

For what its worth for a tip his ears straight out were almost 24". Just something to think about when field judging

[Pioneerman]

Beautiful deer, way to go !!

[Taurusguy]

Fantastic Buck!

[TylerMc44]

did the buck seem to be beginning his rut ? Smelly ?, swollen neck at all ?

[springpin]

Right on Rob!!

[rifleman]

thats a shooter for sure. good job ... 166 2/8"

[hunter1947]

Nice frame on this mule deer ,congrats.

[Buck]

Nice Buck Gets the ticker pumping when you see that in the tree's

[ramron]

Dandy buck

[Soup]

Congrats on a handsome buck. Is that a little sticker off his left G3?

I'll guess 176 3/8.

[walnutz]

nice buck!!

[weatherby_man]

Nice buck!! T-minus 8 days for my liftoff to Muley country.

[Rob]

Congrats on a handsome buck. Is that a little sticker off his left G3?

I'll guess 176 3/8.
Yeah hes got one, The tooth aged him at 4(according to the guy who did it). Not sure if that is accurate though

[dana]

Judging from his face, he doesn't look like a old buck so I'd say the tooth age is in the ballpark.

[kennyg826]

Nice buck bud!

[Caveman]

Great Buck Rob! Congrats!!

[Rob]

Judging from his face, he doesn't look like a old buck so I'd say the tooth age is in the ballpark.

Like to see him at 5 or 6 then.lol

[moose2]

Great lookinig buck, must be nice walking down there. I trudged through 16" of snow for five hours today. I did see a 3 x 4 mulie at 80 yards that I passed on. Congratulations on a fine deer.
Mike

[landphil]

Like to see him at 5 or 6 then.lol

I have a feeling most of him will look like crap by then! Congrats!

[blackbart]

I reckon his age is 2 - 3 days dead (based on other threads this is either the perfect time to butcher, way too late to butcher or way too early to butcher). This is based on reading the www and deducing timelines from there.

Do I win anything????

[elknut]

Nice deer ..I'd say he'll go 175 ..Might make BC book..Congrats

[dana]

Like to see him at 5 or 6 then.lol

Muley bucks live to be 9 to 11. They normally start to regress in their last couple years. I'd like to have seen that buck at age 7, 8 or 9. ;)

[Rob]

Unofficial at 160 6/8

[Marc]

Wow nice looking animal Rob!

[Rob]

[bowhunterbruce]
